Dump Cloth
DUMP CLOTH
Use the dump cloth to empty the cart without tilting it. The
dump cloth lets you pull the clippings out easily.
Latch Handle
LATCH HANDLE
The latch handle is used to release the cart bed from the
frame, so the cart bed can be tilted. /
Use the lift handle to tilt the cart bed after the latch handle
has been released.
For your safety, and to prolong the service life of your equipment, always inspect the bagger cart before
each use. Refer to the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on page 12.
Objects
Anything which can be picked up by the mower deck is a potential hazard to you and others. Always
remove any large debris from the mowing area.
Remove motor vehicles or other objects from the mowing area to prevent them from getting damaged.
People and animals near the mowing area can move into your path. Clear the area of pets, people, and
especially children. Their safety is your responsibility.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Be sure to wear protective clothing such as long pants and eye protection which can lower your risk of
injury. Wear footwear that protects your feet. Wear ear protection to protect your hearing.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, jewelry, scarves, ties, etc., which may get caught in moving parts. Tie up
or restrain long hair.
Check the latch handle and make sure it has properly locked the cart bed to the frame.
Be sure the cover is secured down and the upper chute is properly attached before mowing.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the tractor’s engine in an enclosed area such as a garage, Your
tractor’s engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed
area and cause illness or death.
The following precautions are suggested to help prevent accidents. Most accidents can be avoided by
observing certain precautions. Read the following precautions before operating the bagger cart to help
prevent accidents. Equipment should be operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do
so.
Operator Responsibility
l Do not allow anyone to ride on the bagger cart.
l Always move the PTO lever/knob,to OFF, shut the engine OFF, remove the ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operator’s position, leaving the bagger cart unattended or
inspecting the bagger cart.
l Be sure the area is clear of other people before operation. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
Do not operate the bagger cart with children, pets or others nearby.
l Watch out for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. Slow down before turning and approach
blind corners cautiously.
l Always observe the area ahead. Avoid obstacles and stay away from holes, ditches, soft or steep
embankments and other potentially dangerous areas.
l Wet surfaces reduce traction and stability. Always maintain proper traction.
l Stop the tractor’s engine, then set the parking brake ON before connecting, disconnecting, or unloading
the bagger cart.
Children
l Accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the tractor’s activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
l Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful eye of another responsible adult.
l Be alert and turn off the machine if children enter the area.
Operation
l Read the tractor owner’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of the
tractor. Know how to stop the tractor and disengage the controls quickly.
l Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for detailed instructions on starting the engine and parking.
l Always remain in the operator’s seat of the tractor when operating the lawn tractor.
l If you strike a foreign object, move the PTO knob to OFF, shut the engine OFF, and remove the ignition
key. Inspect for and repair any damage before operating the lawn tractor and bagger cart again.

MOWING
The bagger cart holds a large amount of clippings that can change the way the tractor handles. The bagger
cart works best when the tractor is driven at slower speed which will maximize the finished appearance of
your lawn.
Slopes
Avoid operation on slopes, hills, ditches or other uneven terrain. Do not operate the tractor and bagger cart
on a slope greater than 15 degrees. If you must mow on slopes, do it first, when the bagger cart is empty
and dump the clippings before the cart becomes half-full.
Refer to the owner’s manual for your tractor for more specific operational techniques when you must
operate on a sloped surface.
Operation in Reverse
As a general rule, do not operate the bagger cart in reverse. If it is absolutely necessary to back up:
2. Check the area on the ground directly behind the bagger cart.
3. Continue to observe area behind the bagger cart while backing up.
Tips
Avoid using the bagger cart (or even mowing at all) when the grass is wet. Wet clippings can quickly clog
the mower deck, and the lower, middle and upper chutes of the bagger cart.
Watch the window on the middle chute. If clippings aren’t flowing past the window, the chute or mower deck
may be clogged. See the next section on how to clear a clogged chute.
Make sure the mower deck blades are sharp. For sharpening guidelines, refer to the owner’s manual for
your tractor.
Always keep the throttle in the FAST position when mowing. This cuts the grass better, and helps blow the
clippings out of the mower deck.
Clearing a Clog
At times, it is possible the chute may become clogged. If this happens, stop the lawn tractor, move the PTO
knob/lever to OFF, set the parking brake ON, and remove the ignition key before attempting to clear a clog.
1. Disconnect the upper or lower rubber strap (as needed) from the middle chute. Use a stick (never your
hands) to clear the clogged grass out of the chute(s).
2. Be sure to reattach all straps and chute parts before operating the tractor or bagger cart.
Use the inspection window in the top cover to check the clipping level. When you see grass collecting at
the window level, the cart must be emptied. Make sure the PTO clutch lever/knob is OFF. Back the tractor
up to the location where you want to empty the clippings. Stop the tractor, set the parking brake ON, and
remove the ignition key.
2. Pull the dump cloth away from the bagger cart using
the fabric handles.
HANDLE (2)
2. Move the latch handle down to unlock the bagger cart bed. LIFT
Grasp one of the lift handles, then tip the cart bed to dump HANDLE
the clippings.
In general, follow the same operational guidelines for utility cart use as you would for the bagger cart.
l Make sure the load is secure and does not shift during use.
l Pay attention to the following weight and height limits, and never overload the utility cart.
To help you properly care for your bagger cart, the following pages include a maintenance schedule,
routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service
tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled by professionals and are normally
performed by a Honda technician or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions; consult an authorized Honda servicing
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
Safety Precautions
l Make sure the engine is off, ignition key is removed, PTO control lever/knob is in the OFF position and all
moving parts have stopped before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will eliminate several
potential hazards:
l Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
l To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a
nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all
fuel-related parts.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your bagger cart best and is fully equipped to
maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine Honda parts or their equivalents for repair
and replacement.
Do not alteror modify the bagger cart. If you have any questions, contact your dealer.

Cover assembly Inspect
Cover Assembly
l Check the condition of the cover before each use. If the cover is torn, worn or otherwise damaged,
replace it before using the bagger cart.
l Make sure the cover is not clogged with dirt or debris. The cover must be able to vent air for the best
possible performance. Dirt and debris can also cause mold and rot which will cause premature wear of
the cover fabric.
l Clean the cover with a standard garden hose. Pull out the dump cloth, and wash it at the same time.
Allow the cover and dump cloth to fully dry before use. A wet cover or dump cloth will clog quickly and
promote mold and rot.
l The cover is subject to deterioration and wear under normal use and it will eventually need to be
replaced. Replace the cover with a genuine Honda bagger cart cover or equivalent. The cover must meet
ANSI Standard 871 .l .
Tires
l Check the tire air pressure before each use.
Wheels
l Lubricate the wheels every 25 hours of use. There are grease fittings on each axle and swivel. One or
two pumps of grease is usually sufficient.
Some of the most important safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing this installation. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task
0 Read the instructions before you begin and be sure you have the tools and skills required to perform
the tasks safely.
l Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will help eliminate several
potential hazards:
l To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline or batteries. Use
only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from the battery and all fuel-related parts.

To finish installing the bagger cart, follow the Installation Instructions supplied with the appropriate MKC-
series kit (and side blower for 48-inch decks) for your tractor.
TRANSPORTING
Should you need to transport the bagger cart, remove the cover assembly if the cart is put on an open
trailer or truck bed. The cover may blow off the cart or be damaged at highway speeds.
Use at least four tie-down straps to secure the cart to the transport vehicle. Do not connect straps to the
cart bed, but use the frame, wheels and hitch instead.
STORAGE
Thoroughly clean and dry the entire bagger cart before storage. Dirt, clippings and other debris can trap
moisture and promote rusting.
Sand away any rust spots and apply some touch-up paint to prevent additional rusting.
Verify the tires are fully inflated, and the wheels and swivels have been lubricated.
Pay close attention to the cover and dump cloth. Be sure they are completely clean and dry, or they may
decay and mildew when stored.
Avoid storing the cover or dump cloth in direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric to wear prematurely.
Store the bagger cart in a dry location. Do not cover the bagger cart with a plastic sheet or other material
than can trap moisture. This will promote rust.
